Nicholas II ruled from 1894 until his abdication in 1917. He proved unable to manage a country in political turmoil and command its army in World War I. His rule ended with the Russian Revolution of 1917 in which he and his family were imprisoned first in the Alexander Palace at Tsarskoe Selo, then later the Governor's Mansion in Tobolsk and finally the Ipatiev House in Ekaterinburg, where on the night of July 16-17, 1918, Nicholas and his family were executed by the Bolsheviks.

He was also nicknammed Bloody Nicholas because of the tragic events during his coronation, Bloody Sunday and his government's subsequent suppression of dissent. He is also the third richest person in history

The royal family included the Czar, Kaiser, Kings of France, Spain, Austria, & England (among others I would guess).  They were all blood related.  There is only one European royal family if you trace the roots of them all.  That's why Diana sired the Princes.  Her blood line is the true royal line to England.  Charles line goes back to Germany.

Answer 4

they all seem to be royal.  and russian at the same time
